Hello, and welcome to my blog. I'm a natural light photographer living in the Boise, Idaho area with my husband and 5 kids. I enjoy capturing images of all kinds, but I am truly in love with photographing newborn babies. The first days of life are precious and magical and so very fleeting. Feel free to email me with any questions you may have at info@LauraFarrisPhotgraphy.com.
Thank you for visiting my little corner of the web :)

I don't know if I will EVER be caught up on Gwen's pictures! I've been trying to get some editing done while she naps, but I've got Lily and Stella who will follow me into the office and want to sit on my lap and "help" me. It takes me forever to edit even one picture with a couple of little girls draped over me. Oh well, there are more important things in life then getting caught up.

Okay so here is Gwenny Gwen on her 32nd day of life. I stuffed her into this tiny little basket when she was a month old. I seriously can't believe I got her to fit in there. I ended up getting a basket in the next size up and doing another shoot of her in that when she was 6 weeks old I think. That size worked much better!

I like how you said there are more important things than being caught up, I have been thinking about this a lot lately since my neighbor's mom came for a visit and told her daughter straight up to stop worrying so much about the house being clean and enjoy her kids while they're young. I remembered that when Aspen was an infant I would go upstairs to my room to nurse her so I could be alone with her for just a bit, especially since I know that I don't have enough milk to nurse for very long. I would feel guilty for ditching the boys or for spending a little extra time singing to her instead of doing the laundry. I almost laughed out loud when I thought of that. Only 2 years later and I can't believe I felt any guilt for taking that precious time with my baby girl who is already so grown up. Imagine how we're going to feel 20 years from now!?

Love these of her, I can't believe she's still posing away like a newborn at a month old! She must know how happy it makes her Mom :) And I know the reason you're not caught up is because you're such an amazing Mom and so good at making time for your kids. I've always admired what a good Mom you are.
